Building Healthy Coping Mechanisms for Anxiety
Coping mechanisms are vital tools for managing anxiety and promoting overall well-being. Here are three tools you can use to manage anxiety:
- Box Breathing: This breathing exercise calms your nervous system and helps contain the physical symptoms of anxiety. To try it: Breathe in slowly for a count of four. Hold your breath for four seconds. Breathe out for the same count. Then hold it again for another four-count. Repeat until your anxiety ebbs.
- 54321 Grounding Exercise: This is a great way to handle anxious thoughts. Get yourself comfortable and take a deep breath. Now notice: 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
- Color Scanning: This is another good exercise for staying grounded. To do this, get comfortable and then slowly scan your surroundings from left to right. On your first pass, look for all instances of the color red. Scan again, from right to left, looking for orange. Repeat for all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
